- W2000573275 abstract "THURLOW W eed was an important force in the political life of the United States for almost half a century. As newspaper editor and political (counselor he guided the destinies of three parties in New York stateAntimasonic, Whig, and Republican-with great prescience and skill. He made and unmade a host of office holders, from canal watchmen and customs inspectors to governors. He was a power in the nomination and election of two Presidents of the United States, and more perhaps than any man save Henry Clay himself, Weed was the obstacle that stood in the way of the great Kentuckian's elevation to the presidency. New Yorker exerted a powerful influence upon the economic development of state and nation through the medium of party guidance, and by the standards which he practiced or condoned in political and economic life he made a distinct contribution to the mores of his time and to the traditions of his country. His friends called him The Dictator, and there was affection and respect in their use of the term. His enemies referred to him as The Lucifer of the Lobby, Fagin the Jew and in later years contemptuously as The Old Man. These titles were worlds apart in their implications, but complimentary or derogatory they all pointed to one outstanding fact. Men might love and respect Thurlow Weed; they might hate and despise him; but no one who took any interest in the politics and government of the country could ignore him. Weed's career challenges interpretation, and added weight is lent to the challenge by the fact that no objective study of the man has yet been made. liberal trend in American historical writing, a trend never more pronounced than at the present, has passed an easy and somewhat superficial judgment upon this nineteenth century conservative, and, with one or two exceptions, historians and biographers have dismissed him as a man whose motives were questionable and whose public morals were, to put it mildly, peculiar.' Blame or praise, he deserves better than such cursory treatment." @default.
